Ethical Hacking
Exposing vulnerabilities in your infrastructure and applications
Every organization can become the victim of cybercrime. By understanding how an attack might happen and what the damage could be, we enable organizations to defend themselves against cyberattacks.
Our ethical hackers are trained experts that validate the security of your infrastructure and applications from a malicious hacker’s point of view. They have learned how to think like a ‘black hat’ and know the tools and techniques they are likely to use.
Depending on your organization’s risks and security maturity, we execute any of the following attack simulations:
Penetration Testing
The objective of a penetration test is to find weaknesses in your system like a malicious hacker would. We find and prioritize as many exploitable vulnerabilities as possible during a fixed time frame. And we help to understand how to fix the issues we find. With the resulting report you can start to prioritize the actions needed to correct the problems that expose your business to cyber risk.
A tailored testing methodology is applied for every type of penetration test:
- Application Pentesting (Web App/Mobile/API)
- Infrastructure Pentesting
Phishing Test
Phishing is a form of Internet Fraud. It consists of scamming people by luring them to a fake website, in order to get their secrets. Any valid set of credentials obtained by attackers can provide initial access to the company network.
The objective of a phishing test is to simulate an attack. This validates your security maturity and raises the awareness among your employees to make them less susceptible of a real phishing attack.
Red Teaming
Red Teaming is an advanced version of ethical hacking. The objective is no longer to identify as many vulnerabilities as possible, but rather to validate if a certain attack objective (e.g. gaining access to a certain database,…) can be reached, using all possible means available.
Red teaming originated in the military and is based upon a simple concept. One group of security pros – a red team – attacks a target, and an opposing group – the blue team – defends it. That’s why Red Teaming is aimed at more security mature companies: The organization needs to have a security monitoring team in place that is able to identify and defend against potential attackers.
Red teaming exercises are effective in helping organizations
- increase their overall security since they impact both technological and non-technical security measures
- overcome cultural biases
- increase problem-solving capabilities
In short, a Red Team tests your security processes, not just your technology.
